Now\, as then\, the Government of Bermuda is helping make possible new advances in space flight.  In the near future\, Bermuda will play a role in NASA's Space Launch System\, which is currently in development.\n\n\n\nNASA recognizes its fruitful cooperation on the Cooper's Island mobile tracking station\, which provides excellent support for NASA spacecraft while furthering local Science\, Engineering\, Technology\, and Math (STEM) education objectives.
